2, open Internet Services Manager, select the Default Web site, view properties, in the Home Directory page, by configuration, you will find in the application mapping more than the following two:
Extension executable path row it
. pl C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe%s%s put,delete
. PLX C:\Perl\bin\perlis.dll Put,delete
3, I added a virtual directory in IIS, alias PERL, the actual path is D:\HZQ\PERL, have read, script, execution and directory browsing permissions;
4. I created a file test.pl in D:\HZQ\PERL, which reads as follows:
Print "Perl is ok!";
Then I entered http://localhost/perl/test.pl on the browser and the following error occurred:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application is not functioning properly because it does not return the full HTTP header. The title it returns is:
Perl is ok!
Then I changed the test.pl into:
print "content-type:text/html\n\n";
Print "Perl is ok!";
Run successfully;
5. Similarly, I created a file test.plx in D:\HZQ\PERL, which reads as follows:
Print "Perl is ok!";
Then I entered HTTP://LOCALHOST/PERL/TEST.PLX in the browser, the browser pop-up an error window, the error message is:
Internet Explorer cannot open an Internet site
HTTP://LOCALHOST/PERL/TEST.PLX.
The information returned by the server is not valid or is not recognized
Then I changed the TEST.PLX into:
print "content-type:text/html\n\n";
Print "Perl is ok!";
Run successfully;
6. Please note. PL is run as a CGI,. PLX is run as an ISAPI (more efficient than a CGI method).
